Gilgamesh: The Oldest Story Ever Told and Why It Still Haunts Us Today (with Stuart Kendall)
Update: 2025-08-10
Description
What ancient tale speaks of gods, grief, and the fall of heroes? In this episode, we descend into the dream-temple of Gilgamesh, guided by translator Stuart Kendall. We explore the epic’s broken verses, divine laments, and its resistance to modern humanist smoothing. What emerges is not just a story—but a fragmentary vision of mythic time and cosmic mourning.
